1985 Pontiac Firebird review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has 120,000 miles and has only had general maint. problems such as alternator, starter, brakes, tires etc.
The engine and transmission have never needed any work but the electronic controlled carb has caused a few problems,
General comments?
I used the car for autocross competition until 1990 and in that year won the SCCA south Florida ESP championship. Quit as champion because the newer Mustangs and Firebirds were just too powerful for this car to be able to compete against.
